FBI would use ‘Spinrite’.
I used ubuntu and installed ‘testdisk’ – which completely recovered deleted partitions after I installed over them. If you want to keep it like windows, go for KDE, if you want something more stable and (in my opinion) better looking, then gnome is great.
Testdisk does not need a black desktop – the desktop is superfluous, you should be able to enable repositories and type ‘sudo apt-get install testdisk’ – then when it’s done, you can type ‘testdisk’ to start the program running.
Choose from ‘distrowatch’ – I’d go with Debian (that’s because I already did and don’t know much about anything else).
